similar to: extlinux: doubts about --raid option

RHEL5.3, syslinux 3.75 I tested syslinux "--once" functionality on a vmware image and all was working as expected, then I tried it on a real system and it failed: it got "stuck", it had effect at every boot, I could see the cmdline was never deleted from extlinux.sys. The vmware image used during testing has a virtual IDE disk (/deb/hda), the real system has SATA-AHCI

Hello List Members, I have a machine that has used extlinux to boot for many years, but the hard disk needs to be replaced. I got a new hard disk and installed it in my system. The old disk is /dev/sda, and the new one is /dev/sdb. I'm using GPT partitioning, and I did (after a day) finally get the legacy bootable flag set on /dev/sdb for the boot partition /dev/sda1. I then formatted out

I downloaded nilo and oskit from www.nilo.org. Added pcnet32.c linux-2.0.39 driver to oskit. Compiled nilo with pcnet32 and produced boot floppy image. Use it inside vmware vm. My aim is to be able to test pxelinux using vmware+nilo and not a real machine. Floppy starts, detects nic, receives ip from dhcp server, requests boot image to tftpd-hpa, then crashes when talking to tftp. Is

SAMBA_2_0 as of 1 mar 2000, 11:00 GMT rh61 kernel-2.2.14. 1) smbpasswd the -x switch was added but now: a) you can't do "smbpasswd -an user" anymore, it asks for password. b) smbpasswd -n user -> seg fault 2) ./configure --with-utmp: make all ...

Suppose I have the latest and greatest e2fsprogs. >From reading the docs I understand that 1) boot ext3, clean umount - you can remount ext3 or ext2 2) boot ext3, unclean umount - you can remount ext3 - you can e2fsck and remount ext2 Does this mean that normal linux init script e2fsck will do it, in case fstab says ext2? Or you should make sure to run e2fsck by hand with -f? 3) boot

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

Hi, The RAID section of extlinux.txt says: - Run "extlinux -i /boot" to install extlinux. [...] Why isn't -r (--raid) included above? -- Thanks, Feri.

The latest errata kernel-2.2.19-6.2.7.src.rpm contains old patches linux-2.2.17-ext3.patch linux-2.2.17-kdb+ext3.patch Is there somewhere a 0.0.7a version of the above that will patch cleanly in the errata kernel (considering all the other patches that get applied before ext3)? I read about ftp://ftp.clusterfilesystem.com/pub/ext3 but when I do $ rpm -qpl

syslinux-1.75 We have many legacy boot disks (setup for nics, scsi adapters, ...) and I'm trying to put all of them on 1 CD which would ask the user "which floppy image you want to boot?" I'm using isolinux. I've a problem with the winxp boot floppy made as per: http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q305595 (format a: and then cp ntldr

On Win9x I issue the command: nbtstat -a <netbios name> If <netbios name> is a Win9x machine I got the MAC address of that machine on the last line of the command output. If it's a samba server the MAC address is not returned: MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00 Is there anyone who gest the MAC address back from a samba server? -- giulioo@tiscalinet.it

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3794 Basically spnego fails with vista and you have somehow force to downgrade to ntlmssp. To samba devels: I see the bug submitter sent 2 emails to samba-technical that went unanswered. I don't understand why, the issue is real and blocking. Maybe you have some info that there will be changes in vista final which will solve the issue

3.71, using isolinux and simple menu system menu.c32 To avoid having many different menu config files (one for each submenu) I'm trying switching from the once required syntax ==== MENU LABEL > ^Firmware/BIOS KERNEL menu.c32 APPEND menufw.cfg ==== to ==== MENU BEGIN MENU TITLE ^Firmware/BIOS <stuff that was inside menufw.cfg> MENU END ==== However, it's not

syslinux.doc: "...To bzImage and recent zImage kernels, SYSLINUX 1.30 and higher will identify using the ID byte 0x31. PXELINUX identifies using the ID byte 0x32, and ISOLINUX 0x33. The ID range 0x34-0x3f is reserved for future versions or derivatives of SYSLINUX...." Is this info available after boot in /proc or similar, or is it just something the kernel is told and keeps for

Linux Red Hat 6.x Using name = <mypath>/%U in recycle.conf is ok, while using name = <mypath>/%u produces a dir <mypath>/%u/deleted.item I need to use %u since %U is before smbusers mapping. Do you get the same behavior? Thanks -- giulioo@pobox.com

3.0.21c on RHEL3. I use smbclient to transfer files from Samba to WIN PCs, name resolution is through bcast on local LAN. The network is not managed by me, all PC's are connected through switches (no routers). Sometimes ago network admins started decreasing the MAC addr table timeout in the switches setting it to 300 secs, this increased dramatically the chances a MAC is not in the switch
